Travel Tips: 2 RESTAURANT IN BARBADOS WHERE TO EAT LIKE A LOCAL

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Recipe: BREADFRUIT AND ORANGE PANCAKES

Barbados 2019

(Versione Italiana di seguito)

Travelling is about to be brave. Is about to forget our day by day life back in our country and plunge in an unfamiliar environment. That’s what gives us the adrenaline of traveling. I can’t just take a load of pictures with my phone from a bus driving no stop in 7 days trough Rome Florence Pisa Siena Verona Venezia Torino Genova and Cinque Terre, squeezed with sixty anxious occasional travellers high on Xanax. For a full experience overseas, eating as a local is an essential part and in a lot of countries that mean eating on the streets, avoiding all those easy to identify tourist traps : how to recognize them? It will be your first choice because they’re built for attract you,so simply put aside your fear and go eat where probably your common sense will told you not to go. Buon Appetito.

GLORIA’S FISH FRY

Baxter Road Bridgetown (Corner Passage rd)

Fish. Local fish. It depense on the catch of the day, you have choice here between Marlin, Mahi-Mahi,Dolphin(the fish not the mammal),Marlin,Tuna and flyng-fish, both marinated and grilled or deep fried. But sides make the difference here, is the widest selection of veggies I found on the island: fried cassava, roasted yams, grilled eggplant, corn on the cob, roasted broccoli, fried plantains, French fries, macaroni salad, coleslaw and tossed salad. Price is a little higher than the regular street fare of BBD$13 a meal, but choice is better and portions are huge.

JOHN MOORE’ BAR

Weston, West Coast

Right with your feet soaking in the Caribbean sea, in this wood-made old school bar you can have a cold local beer (Deputy is my favourite), their famous Rum Punch, particularly sweet and spiced here or you can buy your little bottle of Mounth Gay Rum for a few dollars and sip it with coke and ice, talking with strangers or watching locals playing cards. Get here for sunset, you’ll have the cold beer of your life. If you’re hungry they serve typical Rum Shop food as local fish deep fried or roasted chicken with cassava, plantains, sweet potatoes or rice as a side.

INGREDIENTS AND PROCEEDING FOR PANCAKES

It’s an easy and exotic tatse recipe very high in potassium and protein.

2 cups of Breadfruit Flour

1/2 cup of chikpeas or split peas flour

2 eggs

1 tsp of baking powder

a pinch of salt

2 oranges

2 tbsp of vegetable oil

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Pour in the middle eggs and oil and mix. I use the fresh orange juice here for sweeten the dough and avoiding tou use any sugar. Add the juice and mix untill obtain the consistency of pancake dough. You can add water or flour or more juice if you need, it depense how much juice the oranges have.

Grease up a hot non stik pan wih oil or margarine. At medium heat, pour the dough wih a ladle. Now you should see plenty of nice little bubbles coming up. After a minute flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another minute. After each pancake rub the pan with a greased paper towell.

I’ve enjoed those pancakes wich sliced bananas and guava jelly, after a run on the beach is the perfect breakfast. Buon appetito.
